Science sights in Geneva

  1. CERN

    Founded in 1954, CERN, 8km west of Geneva near Meyrin, is a laboratory for research into particle physics. It accelerates electrons and positrons down a 27km circular tube (the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s biggest machine) and the resulting collisions create new forms of matter. Three-hour guided visits need to be booked at least one month in advance and you need your ID or passport.
